XRP Begins Era as Commodity Under US Laws, Stuart Alderoty Reacts

Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer (CLO), Stuart Alderoty, has reacted to the reclassification of some crypto assets, including XRP, as commodities, not securities. The reclassification, carried out by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), officially labeled Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA) and XRP as nonsecurity crypto assets.

Could commodity status boost XRP adoption?

In a post on his X page, Alderoty maintained Ripple “always knew that XRP was not a security.”

The Ripple CLO was one of the most vocal figures during the long legal battle with the U.S. SEC and has always insisted on challenging the regulatory body’s classification.

He acknowledged all those who stood firm with Ripple and expressed appreciation to the Crypto Task Force for ensuring clarity in the digital asset space. Alderoty noted that with the SEC now effectively agreeing that XRP is not a security, the asset faces less restrictive rules.

Notably, securities like stocks are strictly regulated by the SEC, while commodities like gold or oil are under the oversight of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

The development implies that exchanges can list XRP and other crypto assets classified as commodities more easily. This is a big shift for crypto assets like XRP and could greatly impact adoption positively in the broader financial ecosystem.

Some users have also taken a swipe at former SEC Chair Gary Gensler for extending the Ripple lawsuit for nothing.

XRP price holds key support despite drop in trading volume

The new classification might lead to increased institutional confidence in XRP and potentially boost the price for assets like XRP, SOL, ADA and others.

As of this writing, XRP exchanges hands at $1.51, which represents a 1.19% decline in the last 24 hours. The coin had previously soared to an intraday peak of $1.54 before dipping slightly to its current price. Nevertheless, it is still trading above the $1.50 support level.

XRP’s trading volume has, however, slipped massively by 41.25% to $3.07 billion within the same time frame. Technical signals suggest the coin is overbought, as its Relative Strength Index (RSI) hit 73.23 after its weekly rally.

NZD/USD is likely to trade with a downward bias – UOB Group

NZD/USD is likely to trade with a downward bias – UOB Group

The post NZD/USD is likely to trade with a downward bias – UOB Group appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. New Zealand Dollar (NZD) is likely to consolidate in a range of 0.5870/0.5920. In the longer run, slight increase in downward momentum suggests NZD is likely to trade with a downward bias, potentially testing 0.5850, UOB Group’s FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note. Slight increase in downward momentum 24-HOUR VIEW: “In the early Asian session yesterday, when NZD was at 0.5935, we highlighted the following: ‘While NZD subsequently rose and reached a high of 0.6007, it dropped sharply from the high and continued to decline in the early Asian session today. The decline could test the support at 0.5910 before stabilising. The major support at 0.5880 is unlikely to come into view.’ We did not anticipate the rapid downward acceleration, as NZD plummeted to a low of 0.5873. The sharp drop appears excessive, but it is too soon to expect a recovery. Today, we expect NZD to consolidate, most likely in a range of 0.5870/0.5920.” 1-3 WEEKS VIEW: “After holding a positive NZD outlook for more than a week, we stated yesterday (18 Sep, spot at 0.5935) that ‘the outlook for NZD is no longer positive, but neutral.’ We also indicated that ‘for the time being, we expect NZD to trade in a range between 0.5880 and 0.5980.’ We did not expect the subsequent sharp drop in NZD which dropped below 0.5880 (low was 0.5873). Downward momentum is increasing, but not significantly. From here, NZD is likely to trade with a downward bias, potentially testing the 0.5850 level. On the upside, if NZD breaks above 0.5945, it would indicate that the current downward pressure has eased.” Source: https://www.fxstreet.com/news/nzd-usd-is-likely-to-trade-with-a-downward-bias-uob-group-202509191132
